<span>x^2 + 8x = -3
</span><span>x^2 + 8x + 16 = -3 + 16
using a^2 + 2 a b + b^2 = (a+b)^2
</span><span>
</span>x^2 + 8x + 16 = 13
<span>(x +4)^2 = 13
answer : 16 is the number </span><span>you must add to complete the square</span>
Since 6x6 equals 36, then 6² would be the exponent because 6² is the same as 6x6
The answer are both:
x=2+4i,2-4i
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
C. 4(x-3)-x
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
All of the given expressions are equivalent to 3x+12 except selection C. Using that in your equation makes it be ...
... 3(x +1) +9 = 4(x -3) -x
... 3x +12 = 3x -12
... 12 = -12 . . . . . <em>false</em>
There is no value of x that will make this true, hence NO SOLUTION.
_____
<em>Comment on the other choices</em>
3x+12 = 3x+12 has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>, as <u><em>any</em></u> value of x will make this true.
Distraibutiv peorpoty
a(b+c)=ab+ac
we have
3a+7+2(3+a)
distribute first
2(3+a)=6+2a
now we have
3a+7+6+2a
move like terms together
3a+2a+7+6
add lke terms
5a+13
